Hey, Bit of an issue.

Well, I began playing Diablo 2 again, because it's so addicting. Have you noticed, you quit it for like 2 years, you see somebody playing it, then it bugs you, and you have to play it.

Well, it did for me.

So, I began playing, right? As I'm now lvl 80, I've noticed that I get a TON of lag, for no reason. My internet connection is fine, my Computer is HIGHLY capable of running Diablo II, with 3 GB of RAM, It's a bit of a mystery.

I've visited PortForward.com, and I forwarded all of those ports on my router.

Many people said it was because of my connection to Battle.net, but nobody else I play with gets lag.

Any suggestions? I get 80 FPS on WoW, smooth, no lag. Diablo II is the first game I've had issues with.

Hmm same thing is happening to me also.. I got major lag all the time after a while, when i'm also make a game. Can this depend on all those d*pes around on the bnet? Thinking of skipping d2.. So much lag.

Well for some reason the game lags like hell for me on fullscreen as well, so I always play windowed now. To do this, right click your desktop shortcut, choose properties, and add -w to the command line.

Example:
"C:\Gaming\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w

That does the trick for me. I play on a laptop in widescreen, so my image is stretched anyway if I play fullscreen, but I've heard a lot of people having their display trouble solved once they started playing windowed.

Well a common problem that i hear when people pissing about Lag, is...what kind of lag is it? Is it a Latency thing? Or is your screen skipping? Youve hinted that you have both by mentioning your internet and then your ram.

Because, It's frozen when I'm talking to an NPC, Like I goto the screen, then it loads, and I try to sell something, and I can't do anything, I can move the hand, and click on close, buy, sell, but nothing happens when I click them.
